It's Been Awhile

So....it's been quite some time since my last post. It's been so crazy.
This will be quick. Coming to the end of the semester and just did a photo shoot in the style of 1920's (my idea, thank you very much)....enjoy the pictures.

Studio Photo Shoot

Here are some shots from the 2 photo shoots we did in Studio Lighting Class today. I hope to post again soon. It's been a busy week. Mid-terms are next week, so I've been preparing for them and choosing the images to print to turn in. Still haven't decided. Any suggest (from the last 3 post)? Leave them in the comments.

Product Shoot- Painting with Light

Just a quick little note (blog) this time. Its been very busy and fun in classes. This week I went back to Cheekwood and learned have to "paint" with light. It's about mid-term week, which starts in 2 weeks. (How time flies. That will be 1 1/2 semesters done and only 9 1/2 to go.)

Photo-shoots

So I've been a little behind with post pictures.

The last two weeks in Digital Photography class we have had photo-shoots. It was so incredible fun and frustrating at the same time. The first shoot was a still life that we set up in the school studio and the second we went on location to Moss Park down the road from the school.

I fall in love with Photography a little more each week. Everything that I am learning and doing, I know this is what I am meant to do with my life.

So, anyways, I'll try and post each week again after each shoot. Below are some shots from the shoots and from Opryland (went there Memorial Day weekend).

Enjoy!!

Memorial Day Weekend

So it's be awhile since I've updated. Sorry. Been busy working while I had two weeks off from school.This post will be a quick on.

School has started back up and I am absolutely loving it!! I'm taking two photography courses one is studio lighting and the other is studio shoots (Digital Photo 2). I'm also in Photoshop learning how to change and add depth to my pictures. I love this class!

Here are some pictures from this past weekend, celebrating Memorial Day. Enjoy!!

Good Friday Destruction

On Friday, 4/10 (Good Friday), several tornadoes came through the city of Murfreesboro leave a devestating path of destruction.

Around 1:30 pm, one of the tornadoes touched down as I stood and watched it from the clubhouse of my apartment complex. It was an an amazing sight to watch. I watched as the tornado formed. It started at the far left and spiraled and swirled until it touched down on the ground in front of the elementary school right next to my apartment. The tornado was said to have been 1/2 mile wide and traveled most of the city in a diagonal path.

It is such a site to see how one side of a road is completely destroyed and right across the street the houses are untouched.

In its path more than 450 house were destroyed(100) or damaged(350) and at least 30 people were injured. Two lives were tragically taken as well. A mother and her 9-week old daughter.

The above pictures are of two neighborhoods that are no more than a two minute drive from my apartment. (No damage was done to my apartment complex but the houses directly next to us were hit.)

It is amazing what human nature can do in a matter of seconds.

(And it's true what people say, the winds/tornado do sound like a train passing by.)

Cheekwood and Easter Shoots

So there is only two weeks left of this semester. I can't believe it. It went so quickly and was so much fun.

On Thursday, in Nature class we went to Cheekwood, which a botanical garden, and shot some great pictures. (Just a few of the many posted above.)

On Sunday, I went and spent the day with my family at my cousin's house for Easter. I had a little photo shoot there with two of the cutest little boys. (The other one was napping.)

On Friday, 4/10, a tornado hit Murfreesboro and left quite a bit of destruction in its path. Many people were injured, two were killed (a mother and her 3 month old), and many,many homes were lost. I went and took pictures of the what was left in the path of destruction. I will have those posted within the next day.
